IIM Lucknow PI asks current affairs topics spanning state politics, business economics, and global events. The OP of this thread was asked about current political scenario of West Bengal, reasons to start business in Kolkata (2 for and 2 against), and name a business-friendly political leader from West Bengal. Preparation: for every state interview, know the CM, Chief Secretary, key industrial policies, investment highlights, and controversies.

For West Bengal, the panelists pressed on Amit (likely Mitra, former Finance Minister) recognition, showing they expect depth in regional politics. IIM Lucknow at Rs 22L fees and Rs 32.3 LPA average evaluates current awareness as a marker of intellectual engagement.
